New Blog & Knitting Yarn

First I like to tell you I have created a new blog I decided to have one for my Family History so if that is what you are interested in then you can click on the link on the side bar, I only just done a welcome post today but do check back after today to see what is new.

Well I got the sock yarn I had won on ebay this was from a seller I get my yarn from in Germany I really did get a bargain as it was just a auction lot & not a buy now lot.

I have 8 balls of of a 100 grms each the range is called Spot-Colour & is a 4 ply yarn 75% Virgin Wool Superwash & 25% polyamide, I have a lot of the Online yarn just in different ranges & colours

I do really like the colours of course some much more than others funny how I tend to lean towards the browns, greys, blues more than the Pinks

I have taken time out to do some reading mostly Mills & Boon books as they are what I call easy reading & have finished 7 books I got from the library last week & have now taken them back but not got anymore out as I need to sew the binding on my quilt plus I will get on to some knitting some cloths & socks well I have to start to use my sock stash up & I have now with this lot got at least 3 different ranges that I haven't knitted one range is a 6 ply so should be interesting to see how it does.

Great idea Janice, I need to have a quiet word with you at the QS meeting sometime about that, I tried to start mine the other night, made a right mess of it.The wool looks gorgeous, if it knits up anything like the socks you made for me, you will be happy I know as they are so soft.Do you prefer knitting to Quilting?Jan
